You tell on yourself
|
Posted By: Elaina Patterson on August 10, 2005 You tell on yourself by the friends you seek By the very manner in whic you speak By the way you employ your leisure time By the use you make of dollar and dime You tell what you are by the thins you wear By the spirit in which your burdes bear By the kinds of things at which you laugh BY the records you play on your phonograph You tell what you are by the way you walk By the things of which you delight to talk By the manner in which you bear defeat By so simple a thing as how you eat By the books you choose from a well filled shelf In these ways more and more you tell on yourself So theres really no particle of sense In an effort to keep up false pretense You tell on yourself If you enjoyed this article, Join HBCU CONNECT today for similar content and opportunities via email! |
